All easy ones. The film with the robot and the spaceship, of course, is the CLASSIC "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Someone would almost have to be hiding in a closet for 30 years not to have seen this one. Klatuu to you, too. --- As for the Outer Limits episodes (the lizards attacking the dam, the "acid rain", etc... I provide the following excerpts from my official online "Outer Limits Episode Guide"... [The star rating is my personal opinion from one to four stars; the date is that of the original network airing of the episode. Maybe it's almost time for me to post the entire guide (and the Twilight Zone guide) again...] --- The Mutant (3/16/64) ** A man, accidently caught outside in an isotope rainfall on a newly discovered planet, turns into a mutant who can kill simply with his touch. He holds the whole outpost in isolation via this ability to destroy, and eventually has to deal with an inspector sent out to find out why things have been kinda strange with the outpost (the only one on the planet). Tourist Attraction (12/23/63) * A lizard-like creature is captured and frozen by an expedition in South America. It defrosts and does predictably horrid things. A real loser. --- --Lauren--

I seem to recall people trying to figure out their language and I distinctly remember there being many of them. -- ==> Ephrayim J.
